2.1.5 Paper Loading Mechanism (ASF Unit)
The Paper loading mechanism is positioned at the printer rear. The Paper loading
mechanism loads paper at the ASF unit and feeds paper to the PF roller.
This ASF unit was designed newly for this product and consists of LD roller, Pad
holder (Paper return plate), ASF Frame, Hopper, and so on.
For the major feature of this ASF unit, ASF HP sensor is not used and the single LD
roller is built in the ASF unit.
Drive sent from the PF motor is always transmitted to the ASF unit side. But, the
Change lever and the Clutch mechanism switch ON/OFF the PF motor drive to the LD
roller with the motor rotational direction.
Drive from the PF motor is transmitted to the ASF unit as described below:

Following Figure 2-8 shows you the switching path for PF motor drive to ASF unit
side.

Following Figure 2-9 shows the PF motor drive transmission path to the LD roller unit
built in the ASF unit. The LD roller is assembled on the same shaft that the Spur gear
35.2 is assembled.

When the PF motor torque is switched to the ASF unit side by the clutch mechanism,
the function of the ASF mechanism varies depending on the rotational direction of the
PF motor, as shown in the table below.
